I can’t believe this is the 20th book challenge hosted by Erin! I haven’t been around since the original one, but I joined in pretty early on and I’m so excited to celebrate 20 challenges with her and the group!

I feel it this time… I think I’m actually going to finish this one.

NEW for this VERY SPECIAL 20th CHALLENGE – There will be 20 book categories! You still are only challenged to read 10 books. There will be a freebie category plus 19 categories, one from our previous 19 challenges. You will choose 10 books that suit 10 of the categories and that will be your preliminary list.

I own all but one of these books so I have no excuses. Many of these have been on my TBR list forever. Hopefully this is the push I need to start & finish them all 🙂

Anything here on your TBR list? Is there something on my list that brings back happy reading memories?
